2010 Chevrolet HHR Automatic Transmission Filter Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to replace the Automatic Transmission Filter and seal on 2010 Chevrolet HHR?

  A: Begin the automatic transmission fluid filter and seal replacement process by ensuring the vehicle remains safe and also raise it securely using jack stands placed at the opposite side from removal points and strap the car to the hoist to protect against accidents. A drain pan should be placed under the transaxle oil pan while removing front and side bolts one by one before uncompartmentalizing the rear bolts four turns. Apply a gentle impact with a rubber mallet on the oil pan to let fluid escape before inspecting the drained fluid color. After unbolt the remaining oil pan bolts you should remove both the oil pan and gasket from the vehicle. A long screwdriver delivers pressure on the oil filter neck seal to remove it before checking the oil filter seal condition. You must remove the oil pan seal by using the j 6125-1b (Slide Hammer) and j 23129 (Axle Boot Remover). A new seal should receive j 36850 (or petroleum jelly) application before installation as one installs a fresh filter into the case. First replace the gasket if any damage appears on the sealing ribs then perform cleaning and drying of the oil pan before checking its condition for replacement. Place the oil pan on the vehicle before securing its bolts at 10nm tension (89lb in torque). After lowering the car check the fluid level of the transaxle then examine the pan for leakage then remeasure the transmission fluid level.
